There comes a time in every pregnant woman's life where she realizes that none of her old clothes fit anymore. When that time comes, it is easy to get swept away in the rows and rows of maternity clothes. But stop and think about the style and fit before you start buying everything in site- because 4 months from now that frilly top may not be as appealing as it was in the store. Due to the relatively short life of maternity clothes, it is important that you pick pieces that you love. You will no doubt have several pieces that become staples even a few months after the baby is born.
The first thing that you need to consider is fit. Many moms will pick up a bunch of different items the moment that their pants won't button. This is usually a bad idea- because you don't know how you will carry or how much weight you will gain. Most maternity dresses and clothing are based on your pre-pregnancy size, so it is easy to pick up the first couple of pieces. But as your waistline expands, so may other parts of you, and you may soon find that many items don't fit properly. So pick up a few pieces as the need comes up, that way you know that you will have something to get you through the season.
Next, consider your own fashion style. Being pregnant is no excuse for poor fashion choices, so look for maternity dresses that compliment your own personal tastes. If you are used to corporate black, avoid pink frilly outfits that may look cute on the rack. There are lots of choices and designers in the maternity wear category, so shop around and find great pieces that will get you through the seasons. Have fun!
